1851 Simferopol uprising

The 1851 Simferopol uprising was an attempted uprising against Russian officials in the Crimean city of Simferopol by the Muslim Tatars of the region. The Tatars, led by Daghan Aygun, hoped to overthrow the Russian Empire's rule in Crimea, but the secret police used double agents and informants to discover the planned insurgency. On 1 September 1851, the Imperial Russian Army was dispatched to put the uprising down, and several Tatars were killed in the suppression of the revolt.
